Puppy Pads by
cshenk
We've had for our area an unseasonal cold snap. With Mabel Anne new to us,
we are still learning things about the grande old lady. One is she does
_not_ like to pee or poop outside in 15F windchill factor (26F actual)
weather. She'll go outside and there is this almost comical 'Oh NO! Let me...

Happy Saint Roch's Day by

While they hardly need one, it appears that dogs also have a patron
saint and today is his feast day.

where he made himself a hut of boughs and leaves, which was
miraculously supplied with water by a spring that arose in the place;

Long-timers here..... by
Jo Wolf
Do you remember Amy Rutledge who used to post here? I believe she had
Shelties most of the time she was here. Later switched to Basenjies....
Big change.... for training. Amy was found dead in her home here in GA
on Wednesday. Autopsy to be done, but no suggestion of crime.

So..... What did Eugene REALLY mean? by
Jo Wolf
Thursday afternoon about 4 PM, with the outside temperature at or just
above 100°F, with high humidity, Eugene and Berry demanded to go out.
The deck was in the shade by then, so I let them out that far....
Hoping that Berry would be physically tired by the heat very quickly, I
followed, nail...

I'm Used To..... by
Jo Wolf
Huskies and Malamutes talking (the woo-woo thing), and Border Terriers
making conversation as adolescents, but lemme tell you about this
gorgeous Thai Ridgeback we've got in our basic obedience class. This

the other dogs or...

Dog walkers' etiquette by
Jo Wolf
I think it kinda depends on how many dogs the person is walking at a
time..... I've seen videos of dog walkers in NYC with as many as 12 or
more at a time.... so that'd be hard for a beginner to observe
accurately. Not sure how the real and experienced dogs walkers work a
newby into the pack, or...

surreptitious use of soft objects by
[email protected]
I always thought my dog was obedient and well behaved and not sneaky, but eventually I realized that when I was out she would jump up on the couch or bed, and make sure to jump down before I got in the door. I only discovered this when she was old and getting too deaf or un-alert to jump down...

Behaviour odd by
Harry Bloomfield
Male border colley crossed newfoundland, coming up to 7 years old. We
have had him for coming upto 2.5years. He is big and very soft with all
humans, great with kids, but can be vicious with other dogs if they

Does separation anxiety exist? by
canisfamiliaris
For around eight years in this village in central Spain, no-one had
ever mentioned a case of separation anxiety. Axel would be described
